The brave new world...

My digital camera can do the same thing (almost). I wonder when that will be banned.

Everything has an evil use, to those who think along those lines.

[Prodigal Son]

Cameras are only to get smaller and smaller. Eventually, a normal looking pair of eyeglasses will contain a camera that you cannot see and double as a mobile phone. Somewhere in the not too distant future, gnat and mosquito sized cams will be everywhere.

I don't see how in the end you could ever hope to ban all these devices or prohibit their use although I agree there ought to be some places where human dignity and privacy is respected.

It's not the camera's fault the evil use some people put it to.

Those voyeurs who would photograph kids in the locker rooms are already in the locker rooms yet nothing is done to prohibit their presence. Sure "take a picture and it'll last longer" maybe true but the threat is already present even without any electronic devices.

The same holds true for members of the same sex who would photograph adults. We've been told that there is nothing to fear, that homosexuals aren't attracted to heterosexuals.

It's fear-mongering like this that expands government power.

Pedophiles ruin everything.

[FierceDraka]

It's not the pedophiles that they're afraid of - it's getting "discreet" conversations broadcast live over the Internet. Those camera phones can just as easily be used by civilians as by police, and provide a potential menace to the government through forcing greater transparency in the operation of the State.
